Study finds translocation of alum from vaccines from muscle to brain in some individuals. This leads to the neurologically condition termed Macrophagic myofasciitis. Study after study has shown this connection and now studies are showing this translocation of immune cells to the brain resulting in neuro-inflammation. All I hear from pro vaccinators is vitriol. Here is science.

study points to a modest decrease in dopamine and serotonin production in heroic users. There appears to be a decrease in dopamine production, which could be via a down regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme and thus release. Decreased homovanillate also noted. Other studies have pointed to a decrease/downregulation of D2/D3 receptors.

Statin use found to be associated with cognitive decline. The authors defined use as long-term, though 2 years of use was found to be associated with decline. interestingly, metabolic syndrome was not found to be associated with cognitive decline.

Progesterone shown to stimulate growth and migration of astrocytes in the brain. The has both implications in cancer, such as in astrocytomas, but also in TBI. The study also found that the Progesterone antagonist RU486 inhibited this effect. A more thorough evaluation would have included the pregnane metabolites.

Very interesting article. Early Progesterone treatment, in animal model, shown to improve neuropathic pain recovery. This is by no means the first study to show this. This has been shown numerous times in TBI, but the timing of therapy was the purpose of this article. What is very interesting here is that the metabolites implicated here in the recovery are the same metabolites implicated in an increased tumor potential.

Interesting animal study finds that the brain can make sex hormones, DHEA and Testosterone in this article, de novo from cholesterol. This is one mechanism by which the body can adapt to low T. This also brings to light the effects that low adrenal output can have on T as well.
